Chapter 21

Hunter and Steph's wedding was beautiful. They held it on the beach, where no one would bother them. Stephanie was gorgeous in white. Her dress was a curvy dress, with little patterns going around her. Her veil was simple, with 3 white roses on the back of it. Her hair was pinned up in to a high ponytail, nothing special except the flowers going around her hair. Hunter was in a black tuxedo with a white rose in his pocket. Ric was also there with a red rose in his front pocket. He chose to wear a white tuxedo though, standing out as always.

Dave and Kitten had just shown up on time. Dave was wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt and blue rose in his front pocket. Kitten was on his arm wearing a long blue skirt and backless top. Her tied behind her neck. The bottom of it was pointed into a "V" so it showed some of her stomach and hips. She was wearing simple jewelry that complimented her green eyes. Her hair was put in an half ponytail, with the rest falling over the front.

"You ready to go in?"

"Yeah, let's get this over with. Now Dave no crying", she smiled. Dave looked down at his girlfriend and chuckled

"I'll try not to babe."

"Good the last thing I need you to do is be a baby in front of them", she said sticking her nose in the air. Dave let go of her arm and smacked her on the ass hard. "OWW!", she yelled. Dave laughed as she made an evil glare at him. He just kissed her cheek and walked beside her. "I'm gonna get you back. So watch yourself."

"I'll be waiting", he said with a smile. He gave her a wink before she took his arm and walked into the crowd in front of them. They said their hello's and how-are-you' to everyone before going over to Hunter and Ric, who were standing by the front altar talking small talk.

"Hey guys"

"Well Kitten, don't you look scrumptious."

"Aww thanks Ric. You don't too bad yourself", she giggled. "And Hunter don't you clean up well."

"Shut up"

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm going to be a married man now. No more goofing off."

"Yeah right. Hunter I know you pretty well. You and goofing off are like twins. You will goof off, don't you worry."

"Yeah Hunter, don't think for one second that you will change, cuz we know you won't", Dave chuckled.

"And besides, Steph wants to marry you not who you become, right?", Kitten said with a smile. She quirked an eyebrow at him which made him laugh. "She loves you and she knows what she's getting into. She doesn't care about that, she care for you."

"Yeah, you guys are right. What am I worrying about?"

"We know we're right. Evolution baby!", Kitten laughed. The three men laughed with her. The reverend came up behind them and told them that the ceremony should be starting soon. Everyone should get into their places.

The wedding was short but beautiful. The mother's with tears in their eyes and father's looking proudly as their children became one family. Hunter and Steph said their vows and exchanged rings. Before they knew it the reverend was telling Hunter to kiss his bride. They did and everyone cheered. The after party was nice, with the couple's first dance and the cake ceremony, with some of it flying everywhere as they threw it at each other.

Dave and Kitten had a blast with one another. When it was time for Stephanie to throw her bouquet, Kitten was encouraged to go join the ladies waiting. She just kept shaking her head saying that she was the only one to decided when she would get married. Dave smiled as he watched his stubborn girlfriend defend for herself. That was something he loved about her. She always did everything on her own. She hardly ever needed his or anyone else's help. She just did everything her way not matter what other would say to her. He chuckled as he knew Kitten's temper was flaring out. He simply put a hand on her back and started rubbing it affectionately. She looked up at him, seeing him smiling at her. She grinned back and took a deep breathe. The told the other people a 'no' and walked off with Dave behind her.

She grabbed a hold of Dave's hand and pulled him to the dance floor next to where Hunter and Stephanie were. The got together and held each other as they began moving to the song. It was a slow song that everyone was familiar with but had no idea the name or the group singing it. They moved slowly to the sound of the music, not only enjoying it but each other. Kitten had rested her head on Dave's chest, once again listening to his healthy heart beat. She smiled against his shirt, exhaling in his smell. Dave had his arms wrapped around her waist holding her firmly but gently. She loved it when he held her like this. When they slept this was the position they were always in. Dave wrapping his arms around her, always made her feel secure, as if no one could separate them or worse, harm them. She moved her hands from his chest to his back, pressing him to her. She began rubbing her hands affectionately against his shoulder blades.

"Hey you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, why?"

"You seem out of it."

"I'm just enjoying your company, big guy, so relax. I can feel you tensing up."

"Is that what your doin back there."

"Fine then, I'll stop."

"No, I liked it. Keep going.", he smiled.

"Okay since you asked so nicely."

"Thanks babe.", Dave sighed. He rested his chin on her head as he watched the newlyweds dancing slowly as well. Dave began to imagine what it would be like if that was him and Kitten in a couple of years. Yes, that's what he would work for. Him and Kitten getting married. Everything the way she wanted. Weddings were more for brides than grooms anyways. The grooms had the honeymoons. He breathed in her hair's beautiful scent. She always smelled like water lilies and mint. Mint was her favorite thing of all. Mint ice cream, toothpaste, gum, and apparently shampoo or perfume. He laughed again quietly so he wouldn't disturb Kitten's dancing.

They would have danced all night, but they were both tired from all the running around they had to do for the wedding. Getting gifts, Kitten's nails, helping the bride and groom out with other wedding things. It was a lot of work, so they were pretty exhausted when they returned to their hotel room. Kitten had fallen asleep in the limo ride back, so Dave ended up carrying her back to their room. He didn't mind though. These were the few things he could do for her, without her protesting. When her reached their floor he walked out the elevator and to their door. He opened it but didn't walk in. A smile grew on his face as her realized the irony in this: today was Hunter and Stephanie's wedding day which meant that it was also their wedding night. If memory served him correctly, the groom was to carry his bride into their room. That was exactly was he was doing now. Dave was carrying his Kitten into their room. He chuckled lightly as he realized this.

He walked in and closed the door. He walked over to their bed and gently set Kitten down. She instantly snuggled into the bed, putting her arm over herself and turning her head away from the light. He took her heels and her jewelry off for her and set it aside somewhere on their dresser. Once she was clear of anything sharp on her, he pulled the covers over her. He got out of his own tuxedo and stripped down to his boxers. He turned all the lights off, leaving only the moonlight filling the room. He climbed in next to Kitten and pulled the covers over himself. He took in a deep breath and slowly let it out. Smiling he turned to the woman sleeping next to him. She had taken the covers off of her leaving her there with only her cloths showing. The moonlight danced on her skin, making it glow a light blue. He watched as her pulse pulsed through her skin in her neck. She was facing him. He went to go give her a kiss, but she woke as she felt his body weight near her.

"mmm… what's going on?"

"Nothing baby girl. Just go to sleep. It's late."

"Let me get out of these clothes first. I'll be right back", she said sitting up in bed now. She yawned and stretched a little before heading to her bad and grabbing some lingerie. She went into the bathroom and came back out in 2 minutes. She was tired and Dave could tell by the way she was walking. If she wasn't careful, Dave was afraid that she would hit something. But no, Kitten being poise never hit anything and came back into bed with only a black bra and panty on. She smiled at him gave him a kiss and went back to sleep. Dave could only laugh at her. She was so simple yet so complicated. Sometimes it would seem like she didn't have a care in the world, and then other times she would seem as if she take on the whole world.

He shook his head as he watched her fall back to sleep. Again she had taken the covers off of her, leaving them at her waist. Dave watched her stomach slowly rise and fall with each breath. He put a gently hand on it and rubbed it lovingly. She again was facing him, the moonlight showing her features beautifully. Dave smiled. This was his. This was his woman. He slowly leaned further over and kissed her forehead.

"I love you", he whispered.

"Love you to, Dave", she mumbled. Dave smiled and went back to his side. He stared at the ceiling for while. Sleep caught him and he too joined her sleeping.
